Dawood Ibrahim still in Pakistan

Mumbai: Looks like Dawood Ibrahim is still in Pakistan, his brother Iqbal Kaskar has said this to the interrogators from the Intelligence Bureau and the Thane police’s crime branch.

It is worthwhile pointing out that Thane police arrested Kaskar two days ago in Mumbai in a case of extortion. “Along with crime branch officials, Iqbal is also being questioned by the IB officials for the last two days and he has provided some vital information related to Dawood and his whereabouts,” pointed out a senior official of Thane police.

If official sources are to be believed, Kaskar, confirmed that his brother, wanted in several cases including the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, is in Pakistan. Dawood is of late wary of calling his relatives or his men in India on phone for fear of tapping, he said.

Kaskar also went on to add that he has spoken with his other brother, Anees Ibrahim, who lives with Dawood, only four or five times in the recent past. The information given by Kaskar will go a long way in the investigation of several cases registered against the members of Dawood gang in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane, the official said.
